Tema to Cape Town
What better way to dip into the sights of Africa’s west coast than on this fascinating cruise? Our voyage begins in the busy port of Tema, built as a showcase for Ghana’s homegrown Modernist architecture, then heads for Cotonou in Benin, where the religion of Voodoo originated and is still practiced. A relaxing day at sea takes us to São Tomé, a twin-island nation with its neighbor Principe, a place to understand the beginnings of the transatlantic slave trade, now favored for its natural beauty. Next, we alternate sea days with stop offs in Angola at Luanda, to stroll its colonial and modern streets, and Namibe, where the desert meets the ocean, then Walvis Bay in Namibia, to see the flamingoes and pelicans on the lagoon. More time at sea delivers us to Cape Town on the tip of South Africa.
